FAYETTEVILLE - A Chambersburg man was arrested on several charges after a burglary early Monday morning in Fayetteville.

Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg, responded to a report of an active burglary at 148 W. Main St., Fayetteville around 3 a.m. Monday. Police said a man told his wife and children to lock themselves in an upstairs bedroom while he armed himself with a firearm.

When police arrived at the scene, Thomas David Strode of Chambersburg, no age provided, was found behind Steely Meats about 200 yards away without a shirt on, allegedly yelling threats.

Police said Strode had cuts and was bleeding from his arm, which was consistent with evidence from the scene. Police allege that Strode was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

He was placed in Franklin County Jail on charges of burglary, trespassing, reckless endangerment, harassment and disorderly conduct.
